Who We Are

Established in June of 1999, the Ocean City Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation is made up of surfers, non-surfers, and beach lovers who volunteer to ensure that our oceans, waves, and beaches are clean and accessible for all to enjoy. The powerful activist network mentioned above needs you. No matter where you live, if your beaches are Maryland Beaches then you should be a member of the Ocean City Chapter.
